The Inferno/ Continuing Gulliver's Travels

We have started to learn about Dante's Inferno; this is a slide Mrs. Olson put together over Dante. After reading the slide we learned that Dante created the Inferno to get back at the people who banished him rom Florence. In the Inferno there are 9 circle of hell. Our next project as a class was to created a slide showing the 9 circles. Click here to see it. (I created circles 3 and 4 slides). Hope you find it interesting!

Back to Gulliver's Travels

This is our second to last blog over our book and I'm a little more than halfway done. So, this blog will be short so that I can started reading the rest. He has yet to go to the last 2 places. 

He is now and Brobdingnag were he is very small compare to the rest of the population. He is also seen as simple just like how Gulliver viewed the Lilliputians. He goes on a few adventures but nothing too significant.

To me, the size of the people relate to the knowledge they know and how they're seen. Where the Lilliputians fought over dumb things the people of Brobdingnag never fight at all. It's quite interesting so I need to read now. The rest of the book is to come in my next blog.
